Put me down for the VSC/SC pitstop ban - it spoiled what was good race up to then
Is the race good only if Ferrari wins?
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

LeClerc has clearly lost all confidence in Ferrari being fair.
What are you talking about?
The pictures and sounds from my Television which make it pretty obvious.

I'm fed up with races being decided by the freaking VSC/SC !!! What's the point of it all when they just hand out 10s or whatever randomly to someone?
It's no different than the reverse grids you think are so fair!

Close the pitlane during VSC.. Amen
Technically it's not like the refueling days where pits need be open at all times(and ironically we had a rule that closed it for while), so it can be done.

Or maybe just use double waved yellows, it seems like they are really quick on the trigger these days, the risk with Vettel there was null.

There is just one thing being pretty obvious and that's Leclerc being disappointed for how the race developed. There is no reason for him to lose confidence. He's been exceptional so far, so much that the team even backs him now.

You're just making up things.

Absolutely not! But it would've made the Mercs have to fight harder for the win

Fun fact: Mercedes / Benz are the only constructor to win a Russian GP. Benz won in 1913, 1914 and now Mercedes have won every race since Russia rejoined the calendar.

#-o Fkin Mercedes! For God sakes! Even when about to be destroyed they somehow get lucky and snatch the win! Time and time again... So frustrating!

Same VSC situation cost Lewis the win last year in Australia, it works both ways and nobody was complaining then.

keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, hun but you're 100% wrong. Just like the virtual safety car anything can happen and when you've been put behind intentionally you suffer.

Leclerc can't accept that Vettel can be faster at some races? Oh please kid, just shut up and keep your head down. Ferrari is trying to fix one wrong do by doing a second one. Oh yes, karma indeed. Just get your --- together Ferrari, i am fed up with you!

He bitches over the radio that he was screwed last week. He bitches over the radio that he was screwed this week. He then openly tells Di Resta that the plan was that he gave the tow to Vettel to get the place back and then suddenly the outcome wasn’t what he expected. He was told to shut it last week post race and this week looked down and pissed off during the interviews.

But yeah I’m totally making it up :lol:

- Leclerc had to do something which is of course too hard. Quickest car, huge straight line speed advantage and nothing. His race pace and craft is below anything top.

- Albon did a splendid job not overtaking 2 s slower cars for most of the race, starting with 18 and 25 laps.

- Giovinazzi should get some extra points in destruction derby F1 for taking out two cars. Unqualified to be in F1.
It's not like they get something wrong attempting something, these are no hope, close your eyes moves. Is Horner surprised they hired him =P~ ?
